Machine comparison

Choose the machine family by workflow

This page works best when you use it as a decision tool, not as a generic shop category. Start with the process you need to run, then move to the machine detail that fits the workflow.

Base flat-sample setup

CNC Singular + Smooth Head

The most straightforward starting point when you need repeatable spraying on flat samples without heated substrate or tilt geometry.

  • Good for flat targets and first process validation
  • Simpler starting point for manual-to-automated workflow changes
  • Useful when you want the core CNC airbrush control first
More room for samples

Singular X

A better fit when your test area grows, when sample arrays need more room, or when the standard footprint starts to feel too tight.

  • More usable area for larger sample work
  • A practical next step for broader R and D workflows
  • Useful before moving into more custom geometry
Heated substrate workflow

CNC Singular Smooth + Heated Pad

The strongest fit when substrate heating is part of the process itself, not just a nice-to-have accessory.

  • Useful for drying-sensitive or temperature-dependent layers
  • Matches the way many real lab workflows are configured
  • Best when coating and heat need to work together
Advanced geometry and tilt

Singular XL + Smooth Tilt

The right direction when the target is no longer just flat and process control depends on orientation, reach, or custom movement.

  • Tilt-ready setup for harder geometries
  • Useful when angle control matters as much as path control
  • Closer to custom-project territory

Choose by substrate and geometry

Flat samples, heated substrates, and tilt-dependent targets should not be compared as if they were the same workflow.

Choose by process control needs

If heating, orientation, or sample area change the process outcome, those features should be part of the selection from the start.

Choose by how custom the project is

Once geometry, holders, fluid handling, or compliance requirements become specific, it is better to ask for a recommendation than to browse longer.
